[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
I posted those pictures with the extended battery on an SGP Neo Hybrid in soul black, and I can tell you it fits perfectly from day 1, no deforming or anything. The only thing you lose is that chin at the bottom because of the way the battery cover is more rounded. Go for it, I got mine from shimshop, along with the extended battery and battery cover combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malchor:
FYI, It is strongly discouraged to completely discharge Lithium-ion batteries below 15%. This reduces the life of the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Ditto. Just waiting for the case to arrive but Shimshop got both my orders.

Soul black for me too, looks the business.

Never had cases on previous handsets but been swayed by the 18 quid price tag and wanting to keep my precious safe.

How does it feel in the hand and that? Really like the feel of the phone with the extended battery, so much better than before that I'm slightly worried about ruining it with a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
The case feels nice to the grip, because of the material used for the TPU inside casing. And the best part is, no fingerprints (although the outer plastic case is a little prone). Overall its the best case I've had on a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Reassuring to hear my first is your best, cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stephen289:
Just received my extended battery today from shimshop. I am impressed with the delivery time (like others received within 9 working days) which came with the extended battery cover, extended battery and a free screen protector (unfortunately its a bit too small for the screen).

Just to comment about the feel of the phone now; it feels great in hand now (feels more uniformed) and weight difference? hardly noticeable.

No problems with it fitting in my Nilkin TPU case, in fact it feels more fitted in the TPU case whereas before with the standard battery, felt a bit loose.

Overall I'm definitely sticking with this battery and have no plans to use my standard battery in daily usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bazzawhite:
Good stuff

Got the battery seems very nice. My old case didn't work so ordered the SGP Samsung Galaxy Nexus Case Neo Hybrid Series lets hope it lives up to the expectation. So far very pleased with the OEM battery from shimshop. Will update on the case, just wish it didn't take 2-3 weeks for delivery :(. I got the case from another seller which was about $1 cheaper.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270895794015

Just received the case this morning. Very happy looks good and fits well with the extended battery. Just make sure you stretch the silicon a bit to get it to cover all the sides and bottom end of the phone. My only concern is that it is very smooth, a little too smooth for my liking from the back I got used to the Galaxy Nexus' grippy back cover but this slips so just need to be extra careful when pulling it out of my pocket.

The front of the case prevents the screen to touch surfaces when its face down and the camera cut out is deep enough to prevent the camera from touching the surface when face up. I recommend it if you're interested in a case but be aware of the slippy back. This was also a genuine product because I authenticated it on spiegen's website here http://www.sgporiginal.com/ I got mine from the ebay link above.

Also those people worried about being taxed (UK mainly), the product itself was declared to be $9 on the envelope so it is way under the threshold for tax duty etc..

My extended battery /cover and charger arrived from shimshop yesterday, ordered on Jan 12, lots of bubble wrap inside a soft plastic envelope, everything looks good, battery arrived with around 70% charge and a friendly note from the seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Got mine today too, and he even threw in a couple screen protectors (which I promptly boogered up trying to install, then got fuzz on the one I had on there :rolleyes: ) Charging up from about 70% now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I dont like those screen protectors from korea, I have 4, it doesn't cover the black part at the bottom of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Speed:
Thanks for the confirmation. I saw this on ebay yesterday and was going to buy it but I had to go and check XDA first!

Just ordered!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hondaguy:
I ordered from shimshop on Jan 22 and it arrived today. 12 days total, not bad. The back cover looks the same but doesn't have the same soft-touch-like feel as the stock cover. Looks and feels good though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
As samarth said, the sgp hybrid case fits! I found that you have to apply the silicone part first and massage it into the right place first. What worked for me is to put it on bottom to top. I then worked the shell on from the bottom up. I had to pull a little while the shell was halfway on to line the holes up perfectly and keep it on center but once its on its perfect! The case doesn't provide that much grip but almost no bulk either! It is gorgeous and the absolute best slim case available for this phone, especially with the Korean extended battery. Gives some thanks to samarth because if he hadn't posted the review with extended battery I would never have bought this case! Some others don't fit as nicely with the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
I'm glad people are receiving their batteries and Neo hybrid cases and enjoying them. Just wanted to share my amazing experience with this combo and this great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
Just received mine today, I bought extra dock charger as well and really appreciate the little gift of screen protector and their simple note.

...Happy boy in the office today ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freakmax:
Just received mine yesterday, ordered on 30 Jan.(From Korea to Thailand)

Happy with the new battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianford10:
Placed an order for mine Sunday :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funnyclub:
Just ordered one from shimshop :D

Only have my nexus a few days now and I found the battery life alot better than my previous phone HTC Desire HD and have found it even better since I flashed Android Revolution HD rom so I look forward to seeing how much better it is with this bigger battery :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yai360:
I'll try to find it locally, Samsung shop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
So I ordered the extended battery bundle from shimshop yesterday. I got the email saying it shipped but I did not get the tracking number. I emailed them today asking for the tracking number. No response but it's still early. Did anyone that ordered from them not get a tracking number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CC13:
No, i never received a tracking number from them on either purchase. It took about ten days from the e-mail saying it shipped until it arrived here in Canada. I did have to sign for the package though.

hope that helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
Alright, I guess I'll just hope for the best then. Hopefully it won't take too long for me here in the US. I wonder why some people in the thread got a tracking number but we didn't -__-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
I got mine today! Took about 10 days. So far I like the feel of it. Feels just like the Verizon version with the extended battery, which I like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Got mine today as well. Shipped on Jan 31. So it was only about a week for me. I'm in California.

My el cheapo eBay tpu case fits perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadrage:
I didn't receive a tracking number either, though I did request one from them. Two days later they messaged me with the tracking number. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Also didn't receive a tracking number, took about ten days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
That's great news. Maybe I'll get a tracking number too since I emailed them requesting for one =]. I'm so anxious to see how the battery performs first hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decepticon:
Ordered mine a week or so ago, no tracking information but not worried since everyone else seem to be getting theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMarvelous:
Think I'm going to pick this up along with another charger. Thanks for the feedback gents!

Edit: Ordered just a few mins ago. We'll see how long it takes to arrive. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Received my battery today. The phone feels more solid with it.

Both SGP Ultra capsule case and Nillkin TPU case fit perfectly well.

Btw, I bought mine from this seller because it is a bit cheaper.

Ordered on the 29th Jan, and received it on the 8 Feb. Total of 10 days delivery from South Korea to UK.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120843206...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_5103wt_1114
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
To everyone that didn't receive a tracking number from shimshop and wants to do so, you can email them and request for one. I just emailed them yesterday and got my tracking number today. Same goes for my friend that ordered one too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decepticon:
Mine came in today. Phone no longer slides around in my Otterbox. NFC worked perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Got mine today from Shimshop

Ordered Jan 30th, received California Feb 8th.

BTW: Once Shimshop packages it up ask them for the Korea Post Registered mailing #

It starts with RR and ends with KR.

Once they ship it you can track it with Korea Post FIRST

http://service.epost.go.kr/iservice/ems/ems_eng.jsp

You *CAN* then enter this here on USPS.com once it arrives into the US and Clears US Customs: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action

I was able to get the battery in Korea for about 35USD; I have 1 more in our Korea office that I'm in 2 weeks from now; BUT the cover is a pain to get...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myfinalheaven:
anyone have any idea if the pogo pin accessories will still work with the extended battery and cover?

because if/when the accessories do come out and they dont work with this extended battery then it might not be worth it =\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Darwichee:
Does anyone nows where i can buy the extended battery without ebay?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
It took exactly 8 days from the moment I ordered the extended battery from shimshop to the delivery.

Collected the package from my local post office yesterday. First day of using 2000 mah.

so far so good!

haven't used my GNex heavily, however it's been up for 18 hours on battery, 43% screen (53 minutes), gmail sync (push) on, exchange sync (15 minutes) on, 3G is constantly on and i've been mostly downloading and testing volume control apps from the market.

still 68% battery remaining at the moment.

this is my first charge..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
I just want to echo what others have said. Phone feels great with the little added weight and thickness. Loving the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanPonjican:
I have the US Verizon version and got this kit from ShopAndroid.com ($38.95 USD). Looks and feels great! Almost makes the back of the phone smooth. Seems like the curves flow together better with this back plate compared to the stock one. I also purchased the Samsung Car Mount and can confirm that it still fits great even with this extended battery cover on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android.vibrant:
my package arrived in 7 business days from ordering...nice.

with the extended battery and cover, i also got 2 bonus screen protector for free!!! even better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
That's 2100mAh compared the to eBay 2000mAh.

So the people in the US, wouldn't it be wiser to get the LTE version? Plus its cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Well, depends what network they're with - the Verizon handset is CDMA/LTE, so it won't work on AT&T, T-Mobile US or the vast majority of networks elsewhere in the world.

So unless they're a Verizon customer and aren't too bothered about the ability to use their handset if they go abroad, then there are potential issues there.

Plus, LTE kills batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
I'm referring to the LTE battery not the entire phone.

http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-2100mah-extended-nfc-battery-w-door/8A37A9667.htm

Would this battery not work in a GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Nope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Just some quick feedback on this battery,

It managed approx 33 hours (4 hr 30 mins display on, approx 30 % brightness) , Wifi on all the time.

Still have about 4% left at the moment.

All good so far. Would definitely recommend to everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
my results after first use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
read through most of this thread and looks like most people receive them in 10 days.

Mine was shipped out Jan 29th and have still not received it (CT, USA)

Anyone ever wait longer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Yeah, me.

Posted 26th Jan, still no sign (UK)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
hey guys i have a verizon oem extended battery and door that i want to trade for a gsm version of extended battery and door. if anyone is interested let me know.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I've had the battery for a bit now so I've gone through many cycles. Was using the phone all morning into the afternoon watching YouTube, some calls, chrome beta, tapatalk... Auto brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
Almost 6 hours of screen time .. wow ... impressive.

I think I might sacrifice some money for this. Too bad my ringke slim will no longer fit ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
what rom and kernel are you using ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
Looks like everybody is happy with the extended battery+ door combo... I took another combo a extra 1750 battery + external charger... I think i rather have a battery ready than charge the phone and not being able to use it because it's charging. Another thing i was asking myself if the the extended battery gives 14% more juice, does that mean it would take 14% more time to recharge or even more?

Sent from my iPad 3G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Stock 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
my second charge with the extended 2000mah

stock ROM, stock kernel, android 4.0.2

I stopped worrying about using the phone too much and having to plut it in during the night so that it won't die on me. nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
This thread makes me happy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Is there a better way to make sure that my screen on time is from a single charge? That almost 6 hours I posted.. I'm beginning to suspect its not a single rundown from 100%.

Or maybe it is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
when is ATT getting the GN and will it be the gsm version or LTE? if its the gsm then we should be able to get an extended battery for it on amazon for around $30
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
At&t version will be the lte model!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Unlikely.

The LTE-capable variants of the Galaxy Nexus are all CDMA handsets, completely incompatible with AT&T.

All GSM variants of the Galaxy nexus are HSPA+ handsets, not LTE.

But that assumes AT&T ever stock the Galaxy Nexus - there doesn't seem to be any sort of official announcement as far as I can tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plasticmoz:
Just confirming that the phone feels much more balanced with this in there. I would never use a case either as the extended battery + back make the phone as it should be...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
You're totally right on this... I thought I was on the galaxy note forum... sorry for the misinformation.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Ah, no worries - we all make mistakes, it's only human.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oleander:
Ordered the the battery/back combo together with another 2000mah battery and the SGP Neo case from Shimshop the 09/02 and got it today the 14/02.

...Now I only have to wait on my 6 month plan to expire on the 27'th so that I can get the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
Hey guys just wanted to echo my thoughts, I'm loving this battery. Also, don't be afraid to order from thomaskimgrosshandelung on ebay. Mine arrived in 10 days flat, I paid $44.90.

I was expecting it to feel better in hand, but not this much better. It really transforms the feeling of the phone. Before I'd never think of going anywhere without my TPU case, but now I'm starting to rethink that. Even though the case still fits great, I no longer feel like I'm about to drop the phone at any moment without it.

And of course the battery life is amazing. Never have to worry about it dying on me now even if I don't have a charger around all day long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
just managed to get through 2 full days with 3 hours screen on time. Not bad not bad !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
just go to the battery and check screen on time just after you've unplugged your gnex from the charger and make sure screen time says 0 minutes or something like that ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
I couldn't resist ... I've ordered one :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Man.. 6 months in advance to buy an accessory is pretty bold. GS3 might be around by then. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
his wording is kinda ???, he stated a 6 month plan, but didn't stated how long hes been in the plan, and will end on the 27th, so it could be 27th this month.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
auto brightness and normal use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
got mine yesterday.

phone should have had this from the get go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
OK this is really odd. Since I've installed this new battery in my GNex it has started waking up by itself. The first couple of times I thought maybe I accidentally hit the button while it was in my pocket, but now I've seen it do it just sitting on my desk. The only thing that has changed is the battery and I also installed BatteryCalibration. I'm leaning towards it being the app somehow, because how could a different battery cause the phone to wake? Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: now it just rebooted on its own, then locked up and rebooted again. WTF. Completely stock GSM nexus. Second boot animation lasted about 5 minutes before I pulled the extended battery. Put in the stock battery, booted normally, running normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TSF14:
I'm no expert, but you should send the battery back. Sounds like a bad battery, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
After rebooting with the original battery in I shut down, put the extended batt back in and it's been running fine ever since. It's definitely odd, but I'm not ready to blame the battery just yet. I'm still on the first charge of the extended and I'm trying to run it down to zero.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
I'm averaging 4 hours screen time where as my old 1700mah would only get around 3, so its a good increase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
OK I charged the extended battery to 100% and now even when my phone is off the charger it thinks it is charging. I even put in the original batt and cleared cache and it still thinks it is charging when unplugged. Help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danboard:
wipe data, cache, etc. If you're on a custom rom try flashing a different one if that still doesn't work try doing a factory restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
I wiped cache, but I'm on completely stock rom, not even rooted. Looking around, this is an issue that seems to affect a few, but no easy solution. Some success has been reported by replacing the USB charging board. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianford10:
This battery should have been with the device from the offset. Received mine yesterday and straight away I am seeing a difference, plus the phone feels bloody great to hold. Love it, love it, one very happy bunny :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
totally agree with what you have said. Phone feels solid, slightly heavier but not much. I can go through 2 days with light usage (only 1 day with stock battery and i need to worry about it during the day).

on a side note, received my SGP Neo hybrid today and it totally fits the extended battery well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
I actually preferred the feel with the standard battery cover.

Then again, I got royally screwed by Parcelforce when it arrived in the country, meaning I had to pay them a handling fee of more than half the value of the battery/cover(s) over again, so I wonder if there was ever a chance of my being happy with it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oleander:
Which is exactly what it does (end this month).

If I had just started a 6 months plan I certainly would have been the owner of a Galaxy Nexus. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dino024:
anyone know if the incipio feather case will fit with this extended batter. I have the GSM Nexsus, thanks peeps.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diesel2k:
I just received my battery yesterday. I must say as a lot of other on this board: It makes the phone feel better and more solid.

Love it so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HWOW:
I ordered mine today can't wait for it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
After a week and change of using it, I'd say the life is about what you would expect; a little better. No problems with heavy usage over a day, which is my only real goal. About the feel though, I'm not as enthusiastic as everybody else. It's not bad for sure and worth the price for a little better battery life, but I prefer the normal battery and back plate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myfinalheaven:
can anyone comment on the original battery with the extended back cover?

does it fit well?

is there a gap between the case and the battery?

if so do you think it might cause a crack in the case if pressure was applied because of the space between it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
Got my GSM extended battery from shimshop yesterday. Took 11 days from placing the order to arrive. Packaged very well with a lot of bubble wrap. Included a screen protector and a little friendly note. First charge and it already seems a little better than stock. It fits the Neo Hybrid case perfectly. The battery cover is def of lesser quality than the stock one. The texture is noticeably more slippery. Does feel better in the hand with the added weight and size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
i think you should explain more clearer, both the standard and extended battery are original samsung product, if you are asking whether the standard battery will fit the extended cover, yes it will fit, just put some paper or tissue to fill the 1mm space, i use expanding foam.

kms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
If you wanna use the stock battery with the extended battery cover, I would suggest some type of padding inside if you use the phone without a case. If you use a case (especially a rigid type of material), it should be ok without padding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myfinalheaven:
i think you're mistaking the word original for genuine. i meant the non-extended original battery you get with the phone.

but thanks for the info. will probably just get 2 extended batteries as I always like to keep a spare around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
either way original mean genuine, in this thread, it's best to mention extended or standard battery to stop all confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CASz:
I got mine Thursday and didn't realize I got the screen protector until I read the thread:eek: Somehow it does feel better (more balanced) in hand than the lighter battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I'm torn between getting the extended vs. a 2nd original vs. a 2nd original w/charging dock vs. two original batteries.

The extended one is almost out of the question because it only offers marginal increase in power and requires carrying a 2nd back. I'm leaning towards the 2nd original w/charging dock. That way I can charge two at once and buy another OEM battery when the prices come down...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HWOW:
I just got mine about to test it out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
I have to say - a second original battery along with a charging dock seems to make a lot more sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I have a original retail version 1750mAh battery sealed in original clear plastic box.

anyone interested.
